645220 tn?1233764146 As a former Lovenox pt, and a nurse, I feel I need to add to this. As scary as it may sound, the air bubble is important in the Lovenox injection. As well as risking losing a small amount of the medication, by flicking the air bubble out you are removing the mechanism that is designed to "lock" the medication in place. I dont know if anyone has ever noticed a small amount of fluid come out of the injection site after taking the needle out?
645220 tn?1233764146 Hi I just did my first lovenox injection and think I might not be doing it right. I really had to push very hard for the needle to go in then it stopped about a third of the way and I had to jam it in the rest of the way. does this sound right? I have plenty of fat so it's not as if I got held up on muscle or anything.
Avatar n tn I held up the syringe vertically, tapped gently so it became 'one air bubble' when it was a few bubbles, and pushed the air out until a drop of liquid was at the end of the needle. It did seem to make it hard to measure exactly what dose I was taking once I got rid of the air. I'm sure I lost a little on two shots when I got muddled up. However, the nurse told me they were all premeasured. I'm sure the air bubble is there so that no pegasys gets lost in transit i.e.
Avatar f tn I talked to my rs and told him how much the bubble is bothering me; went to another doctor who saw the bubble too and my rs is willing to remove the air bubble. I am very happy about this that he is willing to do this.
Avatar n tn it may be too small to be seen, it will look like an air bubble to a trained Eye MD looking in with an indirect ophthalmoscope, if large enough and using a pen light it may look like an air bubble. It also makes a difference whether the person has his own lens, whether its cataractous or whether a person has an intra ocular lens.
573569 tn?1278629655 im having some strange chest pains im thinking that it could be my heart, because i feels like an air bubble is in my heart causing me alittle discomfort an even a little pain. anyone out there experiencing these same symptoms ?
Avatar m tn If there is an air bubble at the tip of the condom (i know there shouldnt be) and during sex i pull out and notice the air bubble disappeared but the tip is still there but wrinckled instead of like a small balloon from the air trapped inside, does this mean the condom has an hole or is it possible that the air moved down the condom because of pressure? If the initial air bubble burst the whole condom qould pop right? in case there is a hole small enough only to let air out what is the STD risk?
578134 tn?1217698158 If it is a bubble of air could they not do a cystoscopy and draw the air out or do a fine needle aspiration under ultrasound are remove the air if it is a trouble to him. What makes them think he needs an iunfectious disease follow-up? Is it because of the bubble? It sounds most odd!! You will need to nag him to go for the appointment, I think.
Avatar n tn Ever since I was young I use to suffer wit air bubbles stuck up in my vagina it is painful and leave me with great discomfort till they are gone, I have recently started having trouble with it again what is causing this and how can I stop it
Avatar f tn m sick, dizzy, have been craving and avoiding foods, have diahrrea and feel like there is an air bubble where my baby would be. I also have cramping and muscle twitching in my pelvic area. Sometimes I feel a ticklish feeling where the "air bubble" is also. I'm going for a blood test soon. Does anyone else think I'm pregnant or am I crazy?
Avatar m tn I was laying down and I passed gas and it traveled to the front vaginal area. After this I had the feeling like there was a large air bubble at the opening of my vagina and also an air bubble near my anus. I've tried squirming around and all this causes it to do is feel like the 2 air bubbles are moving a bit but they never go away. I've tired different exercises to release air from the vagina but there isn't any actual air that comes out when I do this.
Avatar f tn It is slowing up more is that a sign and they are getting smaller and clearer? They think this summer and maybe a little sooner. I will be very happy when this is dissolved. I do see the bubble through my glasses and it is really broken up fragments; does it just disappear when all dissolved? Thanks again for your help. I found out it got in with the needle from avastin; air bubble not gas. Thanks for your help; i see signs of it starting to dissolve; it has been popping holes.
Avatar m tn hi guys so my friend who came over to my house we were getting a bit horny so first of all he used the bubble rap and put his penis and masturbated in it and then i put my penis inside the same bubble wrap> do the bubble s make a different because they are not exposed to air whats my risk??
Avatar m tn I have recently moved to california. I don't know anyone and I just woke up an air pocket on the top of my penis head. After I showered it popped and became raw. There is patch of dead skin around the top of the head about quarter sized. I have not had sex in a few months because of the move so it's not that. Can someone help?
Avatar m tn Please use the search feature and archives and read about gas and air bubbles in they eye. There are informative and extensive. I am assuming you are talking about air inside the eye for retina detachment or macular surgery?
Avatar f tn Hi. Thanks for the response. They don't move and an air bubble was injected. I can see the air bubble still a near week later, it's about 10% of the size and is sinking. As I say these static black patches are not moving and are distinct from the bubble which is now low down in my vision.
Avatar m tn Your technique advocates leaving the air bubble in and relying on your eyesight , judgment, good luck to not inject the bubble into your body. If the bubble happens to inject into a small vein....goggle up , "air bubble", embolism and stroke to see if this "money saving" tip is worth the potential costs. And if the air bubble gets injected into your fatty sub-Q along with the rest of the medicine then you significantly raise the likelihood of an infected abscess developing.
Avatar n tn On 12/1 I had a complete metabolic profile drawn for a routine endocrinology follow up and LFTs then were ALT 17 and AST 18. The Sectral and Lovenox were initiated before my preop labs on 1/29, which showed LFTs elevated (ALT 120, AST 59). I am concerned that the Sectral has been toxic to my liver and want to stop the medication now. I will be having labs repeated on 2/13, and will see the gastroenterologist again on 1/21.
Avatar n tn the last injection sealed everything but i have this annoying air bubble. Is avastin silicone oil and will it dissolve? I did call my surgeon back it is 3 months going on 4 now and explained to them that it was breaking up finally and the details; they said to give it 2 more weeks. I am seeing a lot of good drastic changes; thanks for your help. I just wanted to know will avastin dissolve?
Avatar n tn Before i made sex, i aware that there was air bubble in the condom end. And i realize that the girl try to play with the bubble. But after the sex i cant see the bubble any more. So i wondering the girl might have HIV and make it hole and let infected to me. Is it possible?
Avatar n tn As far as I know lovenox is no reason to perform a c section. If you are unsure, then please ask your Dr. why he/she wants to deliver you this way. Your wishes do count and it's important you feel comfortable and confident in how the actual delivery takes place.
Avatar m tn I have recently had a nighttime cough and asthma and bubbles of air travelling up and down my oesphagus, sometimes during eating and throughout the day. My saliva glands have started to go into overdrive and I also have frothy saliva, which is mucus free but still making me wretch. I do not have any acid reflux. I have had MRI, gastro-endoscopy, seen a Neurologist, thyroid function and had a barium drink test with bread. My oes is healthy with no inflammation, MRI normal.
Avatar f tn s just a gas bubble because I have 2 big bubbles in my eye. And he said everything looks well and he will see me in 3 weeks. I only see one bubble in my vision and I can see it shrinking in size. But this shadow doesn't seem to go away and is always there. Anyone else have this problem? Thank you!
Avatar f tn (The day before I could not hear the vacuum in the next room and after the air bubble I could hear my husband putting silverware on the table from upstairs.) Any suggestions on what is happening? My ENT says everything is fine and he does not know why I cannot hear.
Avatar f tn t argue or comment on your doctors opinion on the necessity of taking it while also on Lovenox and I definitely agree that Lovenox and Folgard are MUCH more important rather then just the aspirin, but if he is of the opinion that they do two different things and you are not taking the aspirin to cover off the missing 12 hours, according to my hematologist, taking only one dose of Lovenox per day wasn't covering me off all day (which is where I obtained the information that it is short lived
Avatar f tn I am currently 25 weeks and have been on Lovenox since week 6. I have a blood clotting problem. I will have a csection at 36 weeks but that is due to other health problems. I will have to have those stupid leg vacuun things while in hospital to keep circulation. I hate those things very loud and you can't move. Plus will have to continue Lovenox for 8 weeks after birth.
